Outside of Time [Webnovel]

When the merfolk youth saw that Team Six had already rushed into the manor, disdain appeared in his eyes. He sneered and waved his hand, and a black circular object immediately flew out. It landed in the manor and exploded, emitting a loud bang.

The members of his team all laughed sinisterly and threw out similar items. Immediately, loud sounds rang out throughout the manor.

This sudden sound instantly woke up Night Dove’s members in the manor. Their expressions changed and they quickly spread out, causing Team Six’s plan to sneak in and assassinate to fail.

Xu Qing frowned. Team Three’s actions were very obvious. They wanted to use this method to interfere with Team Six’s mission.

One of the self-detonating items landed not far away from him. At this moment, amidst the intense sounds of explosions, the Night Dove cultivators in the manor scattered in all directions. Some of them even set up fires and activated their traps, causing the entire manor to be instantly engulfed in flames. A large amount of smoke also spread in all directions.

!!

The smoke and fire affected the vision, and the sounds of fighting, shouts, and explosions instantly rang out.

A good assassination plan was now destroyed, and even caused casualties.

A cold glint flashed in Xu Qing’s eyes, but he didn’t bother with Team Three. As dense smoke spread out, his body swayed and killing intent appeared. He fiercely waved his dagger toward the side. A blood-curdling scream rang out as a Night Dove cultivator’s neck was slit.

This person was a middle-aged man with a cultivation base at the sixth level of Qi Condensation. His head was decapitated and fresh blood spurted out of his neck. His eyes looked horrified.

After taking the leather pouch from the man’s body and tossing his corpse to the side, Xu Qing sped through the smoke. The dagger in his hand shone with a black light as he approached another Night Dove cultivator and sliced his throat open.

Throughout the entire process, Xu Qing’s expression was as calm as ever. He allowed the cultivator who was clutching his neck to gasp for air and convulse on the ground. He kept the other party’s leather pouch and quickly left to search for another target.

The shouts and miserable cries continued to grow intense as time flew by. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn out, Xu Qing, who was advancing, abruptly dodged. A wind blade whistled past him.

The wind lifted Xu Qing’s hair, revealing a wolf-like gaze. His speed instantly erupted as he headed straight for the source of the wind blade. There were two disciples from the Homicide Department there. One was from Team Six, and the other was from Team Three. They were currently fighting against one person.

The Team Three’s expression changed when he saw Xu Qing, while the Team Six disciple revealed pleasant surprise. This joyous expression was rarely seen and was very sincere. This was because tonight, they were acting as a team.

“Xu Qing, he is an eighth level Qi Condensation cultivator!”

There were two corpses on the ground that were badly mutilated. As for the Night Dove cultivator who was fighting against the two, he quickly turned to leave when he saw Xu Qing.

However, it was too late. Xu Qing abruptly charged forward, and his speed was so fast that it created a sonic boom. Amidst the astonishment of the disciples from Team Three and Six, he had already arrived in front of this Night Dove cultivator and slashed the cultivator’s neck with his dagger.

Fresh blood spurted out. When he landed on the ground, the Night Dove cultivator had already been decapitated and was as dead as a dodo.

The face of the Team Three disciple turned pale, and his eyes revealed intense fear. He had seen the strong ones from the same realm before, but it was rare to see someone who could kill an eighth level Qi Condensation cultivator with a single slash.

He didn’t dare to stay any longer and quickly retreated. As for the Team Six disciple, he also drew in a deep breath. The gaze he used to look at Xu Qing was also filled with shock. After bowing deeply, he vanished into the fog.

Xu Qing lowered his head and glanced at the three corpses on the ground. He then calmly and slowly took out the leather pouches one by one. Throughout the entire process, his expression didn’t change at all. He even rummaged through the leather pouches and put their contents into his own leather pouch.

When he finished looting the last badly mutilated corpse, Xu Qing rubbed his hands and turned to leave. However, the dagger in his hand stabbed toward the center of the corpse’s brows at lightning speed.

His movements were so sudden and fast that there were no signs at all.

At the next instant, the corpse moved as though it was sliding away, dodging Xu Qing’s dagger.

The corpse floated up and its eyes suddenly opened, revealing a cold glint as it stared fixedly at Xu Qing.

“How did you find out?”

“I’ve seen many corpses that died tragically. Your disguise isn’t good.” Xu Qing looked at the ‘corpse’ and calmly spoke.

“Is that so? You can consider yourself unlucky then.” The corpse wiped his face, revealing the appearance of a middle-aged man. He then exploded forth, heading straight for Xu Qing. His cultivation at the perfected Qi Condensation Realm spread.

This person was one of the enemy leaders of this stronghold. He had a cautious personality and had planned to pretend to be a corpse and leave quietly. He didn’t expect to be discovered here.

However, he was a ruthless and decisive person. He knew that he couldn’t delay, so he decided to go all out.

The spirit energy in his body fluctuated, and numerous fire snakes manifested outside his body, hissing ferociously at Xu Qing.

There were a total of nine fire snakes.

Each of them could instantly tear apart a body at the ninth level of Qi Condensation. Now that there were nine of them, their might was so great that it was the peak Xu Qing had seen in the Qi Condensation realm.

However, Xu Qing’s expression didn’t change much. With a wave of his hand, countless water droplets appeared outside his body. As the aura of the Forbidden Sea spread out, the water droplets distorted and gathered together in the blink of an eye, forming the shape of a crocodile.

The crocodile’s body was covered in scales, and it looked extremely sinister. When it opened its large mouth, its sharp teeth gleamed with a cold light. It also seemed to have some intelligence. After it appeared, it let out a roar and charged toward the nine fire snakes.

They instantly collided with each other. Xu Qing’s Sea Transformation Art’s divine ability was completely displayed. It directly devoured five of the fire snakes. Although the remaining ones were putting up a fight, it was obvious that the Sea Transformation Art could resist them.

What shocked the perfected Qi Condensation cultivator even more was that Xu Qing was moving toward him. The blood and qi shadow behind him transformed into a malicious ghost. As it growled, it followed Xu Qing’s body and shot out like an arrow, heading straight for him.

“You’re not an ordinary disciple of the Seven Blood Eyes!!” The eyes of this Night Dove’s enemy leader abruptly narrowed. He sensed an intense sense of danger from Xu Qing. He retreated, and with a wave of his hand, he tossed out a talisman that flickered with blue light.

He didn’t even look at the result as he retreated even faster.

This blue-colored talisman seemed to have been used too many times. Its color was rather dull, and its might had decreased by quite a bit. Although it instantly erupted and transformed into a blue-colored ghost hand with some Foundation Building aura, its might was still far inferior to a true Foundation Building cultivator.

Although Xu Qing sensed that this talisman treasure was ordinary, he still dodged it. However, the large hand continued to chase after him, making it impossible for him to continue pursuing the enemy leader. However, Xu Qing wasn’t in a hurry. While dodging the large hand, he coldly stared at the fleeing enemy leader.

“The poison has not broken out yet?”

The instant Xu Qing’s words rang out, the expression of Night Dove cultivator drastically changed. His state of mind fluctuated, speeding up the relapse of the poison. He then spat out a mouthful of black blood, and a greenish-black color appeared on his face.

“Poison!”

All of a sudden, his body staggered as he felt the violence of the poison in his body. His internal organs felt like they were about to melt, and his eyes revealed madness. It was unknown what secret art he used, but he slammed his chest with his hands, and at the next moment, his body burned with flames. It was as though all his potential had been stimulated at this moment. The poison in his body was actually suppressed, and the greenish-black color on his face also rapidly dissipated.

However, the price was clearly huge. At this moment, his consciousness was a little fuzzy. It was as though there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to escape.

He tried to flee with an even faster speed.

Amidst this delay, Xu Qing once again dodged the attack from the large hand and sped forward at full speed, rushing out like a bolt of lightning. His speed was so fast that he instantly got close to the Night Dove cultivator. He then reached out to grab him.

However, at this moment, Xu Qing’s expression changed as he sensed a life-and-death crisis. His pupils contracted as he forcefully shifted his body to move back. Almost at the instant he retreated, a sharp-edged flying wheel whistled past the area he was at.

It tore through the air, emitting an ear-piercing sound. If he had dodged a little slower, his body would have been torn apart.

As he retreated, a person rushed over from the direction the flying wheel came from. He didn’t bother with Xu Qing but headed straight for the enemy leader. The person who came… was the captain of Team Three, the cold-looking youth from the merfolk race.

“Snatching my credit?” Xu Qing’s gaze instantly turned sharp.
